About Robert
Robert May is a Kentucky LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with 13 years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, mood concerns, trauma, relationship questions, and issues connected to gender and sexual identity, including LGBT matters.
He has provided identity, trauma and grief, and mood and anxiety counseling since 2011. Since 2020 he has focused on serving people from the LGBTQIA+ community. He uses straightforward conversation and practical techniques rather than labels or jargon.
Robert describes his style as interactive and reflective. He listens for what matters to the person sitting across from him and adapts sessions to the goals they bring. He draws on client-centered methods to keep discussions grounded in the client’s own experience.
He also works with cognitive behavioral approaches to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Mindfulness tools and short solution-focused steps appear in sessions for people who want concrete tactics to reduce reactivity and manage stress.
For those who have experienced trauma, he brings trauma-focused methods into the work while keeping the pace in step with the client's needs. He aims to help people regain control over day-to-day reactions like anger, sleep problems, or relationship strain.
People looking to start can expect direct, practical conversations about goals and next steps. Robert helps clients set small, achievable changes and checks progress as the work continues.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on the client's experience and priorities. Online sessions using this approach start with listening and reflect back what matters most to the person. This helps set goals and shape each meeting around practical concerns like anger, stress, or identity questions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is about spotting thought and behavior patterns and trying small, testable changes. In tele-sessions CBT can include homework, simple tracking tools, and brief skills practice between meetings to reduce reactivity and improve mood.
Mindfulness therapy teaches paying steady attention to the present moment and to physical signals like breath and tension. Online work can introduce short mindfulness exercises that people use during stressful moments or before difficult conversations.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan as progress is reviewed. That process helps choose whether CBT, mindfulness, client-centered methods, or a mix best fits the person's needs.
The biography does not specify which online formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. Many people find remote sessions help fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so meetings can work around work or family commitments.
